and now president barack obama will take to the stage and the will remember nelson mandela himself. we're going to take his remarks live as he greets people and makes his way to the stage. this moment is so poignant because, of course, the president spoke of his personal connection with nelson mandela moments after he died over the weekend at the age of 95 years old. >> julianna, willie geist was talking about how the white house reacted after mandela's death, it wasn't just -- they didn't just paint by numbers, kou tell that this really was a very personal connection that president obama felt with nelson mandela. >> that's right. i think of all the speeches that the president has given on a personal level this is the most important for him and it's my understanding that he spent a lot of time on his own crafting this speech and thinking about it. look, when we were in south africa in june we were waiting for any moment to get word that mandela had passed away. he was gravely ill at the time. this is something the president has been thinking about obviously for years and years. what

. >> a short time ago president obama had this to say about nelson mandela from the white house. >> his journey from a prisoner to a president embodied the promise that human beings and countries can change for the better. his commitment to transfer power and reconcile with those who jailed him set an example that all humanity should aspire to, whether in the lives of nations or our own personal lives. the fact that he did it all with grace and with humor and an ability to acknowledge his own imperfections only makes the man that much more remarkable. >> the president went on to say he didn't think it was likely we'd see mandela's like again. joining us now via telephone is former d.c. mayor, current council member marion barry who was i think you were mayor still when nelson mandela was released from prison in 1992. am i correct, mr. mayor? >> absolutely, derek. my relationship goes before then, one thanksgiving day we sat in at the south african embassy on massachusetts avenue starting a whole movement and on april 4th of thsame year out of that 5,000 d.c. government employees off on

major vision for the country, is it not? >> no question about it. it's been his vision really throughout the time he's been in public life. i remember interviewing president obama about income inequality in the fall of 2007. what he was doing in this speech is making a broad argument for government action across the board, not just on things like the minimum wage, but also domestic investments and infrastructure and education, job training. also his health care law. he's always seen the aforfordab care act as one element of an agenda to give a foundation of stability and security economically under people as they try to get into the middle class. he was reiterating that argument today. as you said, the shift to a more offensive argument shows how key it was to get that website working by the december 1st deadline because that is something that allows the administration to shift and make a different kind of argument. we will see, of course, whether or not as the president pointed out in his speech, whether they achieve the en
